DETACHABLE TIRE-RIM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 7, 1906.

Application filed April 20. 1906; Serial No. 312,876.

To LIZ who/11, t 71mg/ concern:

' Be it known that I, HENRY G. LEIsENRiNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wayne, in the county of Nayne and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Detachable Tire- Itims and do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part V of this specification.

? This invention relates to new and useful improvements in means for fastening tires upon rims of wheels, and comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specificallydefined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the aoceoinpauying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective View showing the parts disassembled.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a rim having a curved flange A at one side adapted to engage one side of the tire, and a groove B- is formed opposite said flange longitudinally with the rim and adapted to receive a rib C, which is formed upon the under edge of the strip l), forming thefclencher for holdin one side of the tire to the rim. Said strip has one end recessed, as at D', and the opposite end E is pointed, adapted to conform to said recess D. Y

Projecting from the'cnd of the strip D is a lug F, apertured to receive a bolt H, and said lug Ais adapted to rest in a'recess or slot N, cut

in the edge of the rim. The'opposite end of,

the strip D isV also -provided witha lug K, adapted to 'seat in a recess O, having a constricted openin O leading thereto. Said recess O, it will e noted, is somewhat elon# gated for the purpose of Vholding the lug K therein when the two ends of the strip are brought together into interlocked relation, as shown in Fig. 1. Said bolt is adapted to pass through registering apertures in said lugs, and a nut Il", fitted upon the threaded end of the bolt, is designed to draw the two ends together, thereby securely holding the tire to the rim.

From the foregoing it will be noted that by the provision of the apparatus shown and described a simple and efficient means is pro` vided for holding tires to rims and so arranged that tires may be easily and quickly removed when desired and replaced.

What I claim is 1. An apparatus for fastening tires to rims of wheels, comprising a rim having one edge flanged and a longitudinal groove adjacent to the opposite edge,y a flanged strip having a rib ing laterally-proj ecting lugs, slots in the edge of the rim, one of said slots being elongated and having a contractedopemng adapted to and fastening means for holding said strip to the rim, as set'forth.

' 2. vAn apparatus for'fastening tires to rims of wheels, comprising a rim having one edge flanged and a longitudinal groove adj acont to the opposite'edge, a flanged strip having a rib adapted to seat in said groove, said strip having laterally-projecting lugs which are apertured, slots in the edge of the rim, one of tracted opening adapted to hold one -of the lugs from moving laterally, the ends of said strips adapted to interlock, abolt passing through the apertures in said lugs, and a nut fitted on the threaded end of the bolt, as set forth.

In testimonywhereof I hereunto affix my signature in thev presence of two witnesses.
